Expectations

Materials

Students are expected to be prepared for class EVERYDAY!  

The following materials should be brought to class everyday:

• Ready Classroom Work text

• 2 pocket math folder

• charged Chromebook

• ear buds / headphones (no wireless)

• completed math practice

• PENCIL (pen is not permitted)

• silent reading book

Behavior

• Students need sharpened pencils BEFORE class begins.

• Students should use the bathroom before or after class, not during direct instruction time (unless it is a true emergency).

• Students need to pay attention in class & avoid chatting with other students sitting nearby.

• Be organized!

• Students are expected to participate in class.  This includes working with peers in groups.

• Don’t be afraid to ASK QUESTIONS! 

  •  (Extra help will be available during 9th periods and lunch – all you need to do is ask for it).

Independent Practice

• Practicing math independently is important and valuable because it is useful in reinforcing what has been learned in class, prepares students for upcoming lessons, teaches responsibility, and helps students to develop positive study habits.

• Independent practice can be completed during class (if time allows), 9th period, or at home.

• Students are expected to do their best on all assignments and complete it neatly.

• Students are expected to show all work, even if using a calculator.

• Avoid leaving problems blank.  There needs to be evidence of effort, especially with challenging problems.  It is better to attempt a problem and get it wrong than to not attempt the problem at all.  Assignments will be reviewed during class.

iReady Expectations
